Planting Day

St. Paul’s is honored to have received a grant from Unity Gardens. We were one of 18 organizations that were awarded a grant for fall 2025. Our application requested $870 to plant four native trees (willow oak, red maple, flowering dogwood and hackberry), 15 native shrubs (5 viburnums, 9 Gro-low sumac and one Carolina rose) and 12 native perennials (Black-eyed Susans). These plants will provide shade and wildlife habitat, enhance the beauty of the campus and increase stormwater remediation. The plants were chosen for their high environmental and wildlife value with the help of Alison Milligan, a Master Naturalist, Master Gardener and Watershed Steward. Alison will also procure the plants for us at wholesale prices. This past Saturday, volunteers gathered to plant the plants. Thank you to everyone who showed up!
